A variety of utensils and materials may be used for cooking in your microwave oven.
For your safety and to prevent damaging utensils and your oven, choose appropriate utensils and materials for each
cooking method. This list is a general guide to help you to select appropriate utensils and materials.
NOTES:
•
Aluminium foil should be used for shielding
purposes only. Over use may cause arcing.
•
Arcing is denoted by a “snapping” or
“cracking” noise and may be accompanied
by bright flashers.
•
Do not use metal ties on any paper or plastic
bags; the ties become hot and could cause a
fire.
•
When using cling film
1.
Make sure the film is not fitted skin tight.
2.
Pierce film to allow steam to escape.
3.
Never allow film to touch food as it may
melt when food becomes hot.
